Honeymoon Experience Of A Lifetime!

This place is AMAZING! The views are amazing and the rooms are super clean and spacious. It’s so relaxing to come back to your room after your safari. You’ll also see so much wildlife right outside your room because you’re right in the Serengeti! If you’re going on your honeymoon in Tanzania you HAVE to stay here.

Beyond Our Expectations!

I’ve done several safari trips across East & Southern Africa. This was by far the most memorable. The rooms are well appointed, the beds were very comfortable. The Safari itself was superb. We saw tree climbing Lions, Cheetahs feasting after a recent kill, Leopards in trees, & of course the start of the Great Migration!

Ulrike S - United Kingdom

Fantastic lodge with unique views!

The views, the rooms and the staff are absolutely fantastic. We spent the last evening of our safari here and were so happy to get the chance to stay here. Strongly recommended place with all luxury you can think of.
